RADIATOR GORE F63 AUTOB'ZOBXLES, ETC.

Application To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSSIAN S. Lmnnnosn, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Radiator Core for Automobiles, etc, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a radiator ot the cellular or honeycomb type adapted for automobiles, and like vehicles, and comprises tubes of hexagonal form which provide units of air cells produced jointly by opposite walls of corrugated plates or sheets of metal, and an intermediate radiating unit, the units being separated by intervening water spaces.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereol may be varied,-and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described, as long as they are within the spirit or scope of the claims.

Figure 1 represents an elevation of a radiator core embodying my invention.

Figure 2 represents a plurality of radiator units embodying my invention. 7

Figure 3 represents a section on line 8 3 F igure 1.

Figure l represents a section on line t l Figure 1.

Figure 5 represents a section on line 5-5' Figure 1.

Figure 6 represents a perspective view of one member of a radiator unit embodying my invention.

Figure 7 represents a view of a portion or Figure 5 on an enlarged scale.

Figure 8 represents a view of the lower portion of Figure i on an enlarged scale.

Similar nun erals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings.

1 designates radiator units each 01" which is formed of a pair of sheet metal plates 2 of corrugated or zig-zag form producing on one side a set of projections 3 and 4c. at intervals, which, when the pai is assembled in opposite directions and nested form air cells 5, in the present case, of hexagonal type. Each plate 2 is enlarged at the ends of the projections 3 forming swaged ends 7, and

Specification of Letters Patent.

filed March 16, 1920.

the top and bottom edges of said plates are provided with flanges 2. When two plates are assembled to form a unit, it can be seen that the flanges 52' overlap, but do not inte lock.

The swaged end portions of the members of the pairs of the units are closely nested where they are formed with lugs T, pressed out from said portions, the lugs of one member of a pair entering the lugs of the contiguous member and being centered therein, thus interlocking the members of the pair of the units and preventing lateral shifting and separation of the same and so preserv: ing the formation of the cells 5.

Interlocking lugs are also provided on each. projection 4, between the savaged ends 7, as shown at 8.

The plates 2 are thin in their nature and their assembly provides a single thickness of metal between the air and water, so that the heat is extract-ed from the water with. a high eiiiciency. T he sets of units are clamped together to prevent disengagement of the lugs and shifting of the plates of which the units are composed, this action being assisted by soldering the edges of the nest of cells.

A plurality ot units as above devised may be placed in a frame or gig and remain automatically centered therein.

Having thus described my invention what I claim new and desire to secure by Letters ratent, is

l. A radiator core of the character stated, units comprising a pair of sheet metal plates having a set of opposed projections on one side thereof and enlarged ends, overlapping flanges at the sides of said plates, and interlocking lugs on. said enlarged ends.

2. A radiator comprising a plurality oi pairs of units arranged in staggered and spaced relation, said units having nested swaged ends, interlocking lugs on swaged ends, interlocking lugs on said units at the ends thereof between said swaged ends, and overlapping side flanges.
